Southern States and Gulf Coast
This Friday, a weather system could bring heavy rain to the western-central Gulf Coast, covering areas like Houston,TX and New Orleans,LA. There's a slight risk of excessive rainfall on Friday, which could continue into Saturday. So, keep those umbrellas handy!
Northern States and the West
If you're in the northern half of the West or States like Denver,CO, expect rain and high elevation snow late this week. By the weekend, this weather will likely spread to the northern Plains and Northeast. It might even bring wintry weather to places like Minneapolis,MN and Buffalo,NY. Meanwhile, severe weather could emerge from Kansas City,MO to parts of the east-central U.S.
Western States
From Sunday into early next week, another Pacific system will bring more rain to the West. Areas like San Francisco,CA and Portland,OR should prepare for potentially heavier rainfall.

Warm temperatures are in store ahead of these fronts, with some areas seeing highs 20-30 degrees above normal, especially from the Midwest into the Ohio Valley. By Monday, cooler air will settle in behind the fronts, bringing more seasonal temperatures to the East Coast.
